Every BMW fan would love to own an E46 M3. It’s often regarded as the best driving BMW of all time and is regularly used as a measuring stick for newer M cars. However, there’s one specific spec of E46 M3 that most fans would rather avoid—the E46 M3 Convertible with an SMG gearbox. Because […]

Compare the BMW 230i to the Toyota GR86 in front of any BMW fan and you’ll have to wait for them to stop laughing before you can finish. However, that laughter would be the laughter of ignorance, as the much cheaper Toyota can absolutely stand toe-to-toe with the Bimmer. In this new comparison test from

The BMW Z8 is easily one of the most desirable Bimmers ever made. It’s hard to argue with a V8-powered roadster, a manual transmission, rear-wheel drive, and looks like the Z8’s. When it comes to long-distance continent-cruising, I can think of few other vehicles I’d rather use than a Z8. And this one headed to

BMW has a lot of cool comfort features in its luxury cars. I still remember the first time I felt a heated steering wheel. It was like seeing sunshine for the first time. BMW’s heated armrests blew my mind at first. Give me all the heated things. But what about seatbelts? ZF is working on

BMW really leaned hard into the whole SUV thing. When BMW first introduced the E53 X5, its first-ever SUV, the enthusiast fanbase lost its collective mind.

The IRA forces automakers to meet certain requirements for their electric vehicle manufacturing, such as sourcing most of their battery materials from North America, in order to keep the $7,500 tax

For years, BMW has been the luxury sales leader in the U.S. However, that crown was just stolen—quite easily—by Tesla. According to Automotive News‘ Research and Data Center (h/t to Jalopnik), Tesla delivered 491,000 cars in the U.S., compared to 332,388 BMWs delivered. So quite the drubbing of BMW by Tesla. But what does that

The 2023 MINI Countryman is on its way, set to debut toward the end of the year. When it does, it will mark the beginning of MINI’s transition into the future. Not only will it be built on BMW’s updated FAAR front-wheel drive architecture but it will also launch MINI’s new design language and interior

BMW’s Snow and Ice Challenge is one of the most fun things you can do in a car. It takes place in Sölden, Austria, which is located in the Alps and, as you can imagine, it’s extremely cold, snowy, and icy. Which makes it the perfect place to test a BMW M car’s abilities on
